Or, you can go one step further and increase your security 1,000-fold. =
Backup daily to an internet backup service. No MS Explorer, no floppy =
disks, no tapes, no clicking all over the place. I don't bother at all =
with the PTBiz backup "feature". I simply have designated a =
couple-hundred megs of data (includes all PTBiz files) that I back up =
daily. Two clicks and it usually takes only 2 to 5 minutes for the =
backup to run. This way you are protected from computer malfunction, =
theft, fire, flood, hurricane, tornado, most acts of war, etc. Just make =
sure your backup service is in another state. I back up to somewhere in =
an underground bunker outside of Pittsburg - they claim it will survive =
a nuclear attack (former military facility)!

  Tom,
  I'll add to what Greg wrote about the backing up of PTBiz files. I too =
was a bit confused on procedure. Actually you can thank (smirk...) the =
author for not completing the necessary program keystrokes for making =
this a one keystroke procedure.
  After it asks you whether you want to or not make a backup, if you say =
yes, it will prompt to another screen saying that the backup has been =
completed. However it really isn't.
  From that point you have to go to Windows Explorer ( shortcut...press =
the Microsoft icon key on your keyboard along with the E key).
  In Windows Explorer hit the C: icon, and the +next to it. Then scroll =
down to Program Files. Again hit the + icon next to Program Files, then =
scroll down to the PTBiz file. Click on PTBiz then on the right side of =
the screen you'll see the date in which you last backed up, along with a =
7-8 digit number. That's your backup.
  Now you have to copy that file ( top of page in Edit), then go to the =
File column (far left) and go to SEND TO. Press SEND TO and determine =
which drive you want to save the backup in. My A drive is the floppy =
drive, so I send it to a: drive. You'll then see it the information =
being transferred over to the disk drive. Done.
  Again, make sure you take the time to THANK (@#?$) the author for this =
programming shortcoming. He wonders why more of his programs never sold. =
Well, it's for reasons like this that makes the program laborious to =
use.

    Can someone tell me how to back up the "ptbiz" files? =20
    I`ve had the program for a couple months now and am getting nervous =
about not having a backed up version of my files.  I`ve tried signing up =
with the yahoo group but there is a glich going on with that and haven`t =
been able to get in ( I think that may have something to do with the =
fact I don`t elect to have their title bar istalled on my windows).=20
    thanks in advance,
    sincerely,
    Tom Carpenter
